What is it about Indiana that inspires movies about small-town dreamers who come from behind to win?

Tends toward the generic, and Jim Caviezel is hopelessly bland in the lead. Among the bright spots are Mary McCormack as the hero's wife and Bruce Dern as the wise old motorboat guru.

This otherwise amiable family film plods whenever the action returns to dry land.

Inspirational but uninspired sports movie.

The drama gets stuck in a dispiritingly dull rut and fails to build toward what is supposed to be a something of a crowd-rousing triumph over adversity.

Madison peddles condescending hokum as heartland values.

There isn't a scene, an action or a character that rings true, yet the narrative summary of the events that inspired it is a matter of record.
